Who we are

The Money and Pensions Service’s vision is “Everyone making the most of their money and pensions“.

We are an arm’s-length body, sponsored by the Department for Work and Pensions, with a joint commitment to ensuring that people throughout the UK have guidance and access to the information they need to make effective financial decisions over their lifetime. We deliver this across five core functions.

We are funded by levies on both the financial services industry and pension schemes.

To find out more about our priorities, read our annual Corporate Plan and Strategy.

To find out more about our governance structures, policies and procedures, read our public information.

We provide information designed to enhance people’s understanding and knowledge of financial matters and day-to-day money management skills.

We provide free, impartial money guidance to millions of people through our consumer websites, our call centre and our webchat service.

4. Consumer protection

We work with government and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in a new remit to protect consumers against financial scams.

We support the efforts of the wider financial services industry to protect consumers and begin to gather and share actionable insights to help the sector decide where best to prioritise its efforts.

5. Strategy

We focus the efforts of everyone working on financial wellbeing with children and young people and delivering debt advice.

We published the UK Strategy for Financial Wellbeing with the goal of driving significant, coordinated change over the longer term, building on the work of the Financial Capability Strategy for the UK.

Chair

"MaPS has a key role to play in making impartial money guidance accessible to all, particularly so given the current economic challenges, and I look forward to working closely with our many partners, to help people right across the country feel more able to manage their money."
